The Art of Writing by Lu Chi (261-303) →

Days advance, the parting grows long Days advance, the sash grows loose Floating clouds hide the bright sun The Wanderer can think of no return
Loving you I become old Suddenly the time is late
Enough - I speak no...

Why Do People Call It "Xmas"?
mentalflossr:
Lots of people think the X in Xmas is a secular watering down of the word Christ. You know, “we love to celebrate the holiday but don’t believe in Jesus,” sort of thing. But that’s not the case.
